New skins in the inventory delight every CS2 player. They help demonstrate a fighting spirit and motivate them to new victories. Cases remain the primary, yet interesting and unpredictable, way to obtain skins. Players can now open not only classic Valve cases but also unique cases released by third-party platforms. Case opening results depend on RNG and drop rates, but there are still ways to increase your chances of getting interesting skins. Let’s look at what aspects are worth considering when choosing a platform for opening CS2 cases and wanting to get cool skins.
Choosing the Right Platform
If classic Valve cases no longer appeal to you, third-party platforms offer plenty of options. Many platforms offer themed cases with fairly high drop rates for popular items. Opening themed CS2 cases also offers a great chance to get that skin you’ve been dreaming of. While unique cases are a bit more expensive than classic ones, instead of a dozen useless, cheap skins, you can get one that will delight and motivate you. Besides a good selection of cases, the platform should be reliable. Check whether it has licenses, what year it launched, and whether it uses a secure connection. It’s a good practice to evaluate reviews from real users. Taking all these factors into account will help you form your own opinion about a particular CS2 platform.
To get the most out of opening CS2 cases on a third-party platform, it’s crucial to pay attention to the case contents, its price, and the drop rates for each skin. Additionally, to ensure the transparency of drop results, the platform must support Provably Fair, an algorithm that guarantees the fairness of results and allows users to verify this directly.
Using Case Opening Simulators
A CS2 case opening simulator is a tool that simulates the real case opening process, but without real investments or actual drops. Simulators are available to players as a standalone service or integrated into the case opening platform. CS2 players use this tool to understand how case opening works (newbies), to estimate possible drops for different cases without money, and generally to enjoy a fun pastime. The goals are clear, hence the main requirement for simulators: they must realistically simulate the process and use the same drop rates as in CS2. Therefore, when choosing a simulator, it’s important to ensure that it doesn’t inflate or round up drop rates.
On some CS2 platforms, the simulator is available as a demo case opening mode. This is especially popular on sites that offer exclusive cases. When using the demo mode, it’s also worth ensuring the platform’s transparency and fairness. Overall, understanding the drops for different skins will allow you to make the right case selection and get the most out of opening them.
Using Bonuses and Promo Codes
Bonuses and promo codes are available on almost every CS2 case-opening platform. Some have more, some less. Of course, it’s best to choose a platform that offers the most opportunities to earn bonuses and promo codes. Bountystars is one such platform. Bountystars promo codes are available to both new and existing users. How do promo codes help you maximize your chances of opening cases? It’s very simple.
Promo codes typically provide either a very generous discount on a case, a certain percentage bonus to your balance, or even a free case. Accordingly, the more CS2 cases you open, the greater your chances of earning good skins.
Participating in Events and Giveaways
Platform users can earn even more rewards in the form of free cases and skins by participating in giveaways and events. Third-party CS2 platforms typically have separate tabs for Giveaways and Events. Some giveaways are held on the platform’s social media, so it’s recommended to follow them. Giveaways offer the chance to win some very nice rewards, including knives and gloves. To increase your chances of winning, it’s best to choose platforms with less competition.
The platform’s bonus system also offers the opportunity to earn more rewards. Typically, to participate, simply be active on the platform — opening cases, participating in case battles, etc. The leaderboard of active players can be updated daily, weekly, and monthly. Therefore, all users have a chance to prove themselves and earn a reward.
Final Thoughts
Opening CS2 cases is an exciting and unpredictable experience. While Valve cases are more or less well-known, opening unique cases offers more surprises, but also a higher chance of earning a valuable skin. When choosing a platform for purchasing exclusive cases, consider its transparency, the availability of a demo mode for opening cases, and giveaways and events where you can easily earn skins and cases. Pay attention to bonuses and leaderboards — these are additional ways to diversify your inventory for CS2 fans.
